The Chelmsford Art Society will present artist Andrew Kusmin, who will present a talk on his artwork as well as discuss his new book, “Palette of Dreams,” at 7 p.m. April 26, at Chelmsford Center for the Arts, 1A North Road, Route 4, Chelmsford.

Kusmin is a watercolor artist, art instructor and the owner of the Kusmin Art Gallery, in Plymouth. Some will know him from his former career in dentistry in this area. At his retirement, he decided to return to art.

Kusmin’s book is a story of one man’s journey to answer the artist’s question “why paint?” His paintings are stories of multiple, changing images, with memories of a place and people. The book features more than 200 of Kusmin’s original paintings presented in nine chapters that reflect various themes. His book may be purchased at the meeting.
